When seeing a patient, if you feel that the patient is poor, you can charge less, or even nothing at all.

Looking at the fat and big-eared people who act like they are rich, I charge them a little more. These people don’t lack the money, so I make money at the same time.

Of course, for patients from ordinary families who come to see a doctor, we will charge the normal market price without cheating anyone.

Listening to her two best friends talking in unison, Li Xiaoya's heart was shaken. She had indeed never tried internal or external treatments, not to mention the auxiliary treatment of Chinese medicine masks. When she had acne, she only thought about curing it with medicine and never thought about applying a mask. It seemed to sound good, so she said directly.

"Okay, since you can guarantee that you can cure the acne on my face, I will reluctantly stay in your clinic for a while and see the results."

Having said that, Li Xiaoya raised her chin proudly, glanced at Zhong Chuchu and Ruan Wanxin who were both frowning, and continued with a condescending expression.

"Name a price, how much would it cost to cure the acne on my face?"

Zhong Chuchu, who was speechless after hearing Li Xiaoya's words, brightened up her eyes and thought to herself, this is what I've been waiting for.

He pretended to pick up the abacus beside him and started counting on it. Then he looked up at the abacus and said sincerely.

"Thank you for your trust in our clinic. We will do our best to heal your face and make you look beautiful. I guarantee that handsome guys will scream when they see you. I just did a rough calculation and your treatment will cost about 1100 yuan. Add in the handling fee and observation fee, and you'll pay 1198 yuan."

Zhong Chuchu's words, flattery and flying knives flew randomly, each of which accurately hit Li Xiaoya's heart. Li Xiaoya, who was feeling ecstatic because of Zhong Chuchu's flattery, suddenly heard the fee of 1198 yuan. Her eyes widened in surprise and she said consciously.

"How much? You're charging 1198 yuan for an acne treatment!"

Oh my god, her monthly salary is only a few hundred yuan, and Zhong Chuchu charges 1198 for her facial treatment. Why doesn’t she rob her?

Fortunately, her family conditions are relatively good, and her salary is just pocket money. The money given by her family is her real source of income. Otherwise, as a soldier who has only worked for a few years, how could she afford to wear high-end jewelry such as diamond bracelets?

But no matter how rich she is, she shouldn't spend it like this. Treating a pimple costs 1198 yuan, which is enough to buy a small gold necklace, right?

Zhong Chuchu didn't say anything. Ruan Wanxin, who was standing by, noticed Li Xiaoya's hesitation and uneasiness. She picked up an abacus and started clacking on it with her slender fingers. Then she patted Zhong Chuchu's shoulder and said.

"Dr. Zhong, how did you learn arithmetic? The Chinese medicinal herbs used in our clinic are all top-grade, some of which are rare, like wild ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, as well as wild pearl powder. They all cost a fortune. I just did a quick calculation, and the cost of treating this lady's face is more than 1000 yuan, almost 3000 yuan. Do you want our clinic to pay for her treatment?"

As soon as Ruan Wanxin finished speaking, Zhong Chuchu showed an embarrassed expression on her face.

"What? Did I make a mistake again?"

The embarrassed expression on Zhong Chuchu's face did not disappear. She hurriedly pretended to cover her face, took the abacus from Ruan Wanxin's hand, and clattered it around, and finally said weakly.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Li Xiaoya. I've never been good at math since I was a child. I made a mistake in my calculations just now. I didn't count many valuable Chinese medicinal herbs properly, and I underestimated the cost of your treatment. Now I've roughly calculated that the cost of treating you is about 2300 yuan. However, due to my personal mistake, and thanks for your trust in our clinic, I will charge you 2100 yuan, 200 yuan less. I'll just give you a discount and consider it a newcomer benefit for your first visit to our clinic."

"What? You calculated wrong?"

Li Xiaoya was speechless. How could a disease that originally cost only a little over 1000 yuan to treat suddenly become over 2000 yuan? This was over 2000 yuan, which was several months' salary for her.

It's not that she doesn't have the more than 2000 yuan, but she was confused by the actions of Zhong Chuchu and Ruan Wanxin. How bad must Zhong Chuchu's math skills be to be able to reduce the medicine cost by more than 1000 yuan? It seems that she has to use her private money.

Li Xiaoya's face was full of speechlessness, and she saw Ruan Wanxin beside her took the abacus and continued.

"Chu Chu, are you sure you calculated it right this time? You even gave them a 200 yuan discount. Don't let us treat them and end up having to pay for it later."

After saying this, he pretended to take the abacus from the other person's hand, ready to calculate again.

Li Xiaoya: “…”

Zhong Chuchu and Ruan Wanxin exchanged a quick glance to make sure the little fat sheep took the bait.

It is impossible to spend money on it, so the two best friends sang the same tune just to successfully swallow the little fat sheep in front of them.

Zhong Chuchu was kindhearted after all. She had finally caught a small fat sheep and only wanted to make a killing of just over 1000 yuan. However, the female patient in front of her was clearly showing the arrogance of a rich person. How could she swallow this? Therefore, she made such a fuss and raised the price by more than 1000 yuan.

Fortunately, Zhong Chuchu is also smart, and the two best friends cooperated perfectly in this regard. They quickly realized that she wanted to take more advantage of the situation, and immediately cooperated with her in the previous drama. The two best friends sang in unison and finally stunned Li Xiaoya.

Seeing Ruan Wanxin picking up an abacus and about to start clacking it again, Li Xiaoya's eyes narrowed, and she subconsciously pressed the abacus, looked at Zhong Chuchu, and said with a smile.

"Oh, forget it, it makes me dizzy. Since you've said that, and given me newcomer benefits, it would be disrespectful if I didn't treat my illness here. 2100 yuan, right? I'll pay you right away. You can prescribe me some medicine first, and then make me a facial mask. Starting today, you can start treating my acne. I believe you can cure these acne on my face."

As she spoke, Li Xiaoya took out her bag, took out a stack of money from it, counted out 2100 yuan, and handed it to Zhong Chuchu with an expression as if she had survived a disaster.

Just kidding, the two owners of this clinic are both confused. They are calculating the cost of the medicine very quickly. Maybe the calculated cost of the medicine will be more than 3000 yuan. It’s better for them to pay the money quickly to have peace of mind.

Looking at the stack of money handed to them, Ruan Wanxin and Zhong Chuchu exchanged glances calmly, and both read the message in each other's eyes: See, the money is in hand.

Zhong Chuchu slowly looked at the stack of banknotes in front of her, put the money into the drawer without hesitation, and then waved to Ruan Wanxin beside her.

"Alright, alright, go do your thing. Didn't you see the patient was very straightforward? He's already paid, so what's the big deal? It's just a few prescriptions of Chinese medicine. It's his first time at our clinic, so we should give him a discount and pay for his treatment!"
